Looks like they are getting hammered the world over right now though... Website down for maintenance...
Would like to capitolize that I'm not the only one with the following view:
That said, FirewallLeakTester pulls no punches about its view of WGA. Once the tool has validated a copy of Windows, it says, “there is no decent point or reason to check it again and again every boot.”
What I'd been saying from the begining. MS should only need validated the OS once.
